Los Angeles - Biddy Mason Park

The park honors the "grandmother of Los Angeles". The timeline wall by artist Sheila deBretteville and visual artist Beyte Saar's assemblage takes visitors back to the way it was on the original site in 1866 when pioneering philanthropist Biddy Mason, a former slave, ran the city's first child care center out of her home and founded the city's First African Methodist Episcopal Church on this very ground.
